Description

This image is the result of my image processing from ShaRA_7 project. The choice of subject fell on a not very well-known nebular complex, on the edge of a huge molecular bubble called IRAS Vela Shell. It is a ring of infrared emission from the Gum-Vela region, coinciding with the Gum Nebula, the largest cloud visible from Earth.
A recently installed 160mm Takahashi in the ObsTech complex in Rio Hurtado was used, owned by our friend and member of the group @Aygen

The image is a SHH palette mapped to RGB channels obtained using 42x600s Luminance, 32x600s SII, 17x600s Halpha subs, ASI6200MM, and Astronomik filters.
